Blue yonder email account/Google

freya18th

I have received a notification at the top of my screen for emails that says my blueyonder address is no longer valid because another organisation has reserved it. Don't worry your data is safe. To use it you need to create a new account with a different email address. Your password and security settings will remain the same. It then asks me to set up a Gmail account even though my old one is blueyonder. Is this genuine? Now when I click on my email icon on my desktop, nothing happens and it doesn't open.

Sounds like a phishing attempt for your credentials..


Can you screenshot it for us to look at ?

Blueyonder is a Virgin Media address, so this is obviously a scam , delete it and don't worry about it!
